OK, I feel a little bad about what I just did, but excited as well.

One of the big projects we're going to be gearing up for is replacing the Goodlink wireless email devices that our salespeople and director level types currently use with something that can operate worldwide, rather than just in the US, and has cellular phone capability. (Probably gonna be the new GSM/CDMA blackberry, but we'll see. Treo's pretty strong, too.)

The guy who was fired yesterday and I had both volunteered to work on the project, and they'd selected him from our department for obvious reasons. (Seniority, etx.) But, since he's gone, I dropped a note to my boss this morning that I was still interested in that project.

She sent me an email a few minutes ago to let me know that I was now on the team!

I feel a bit bad about capitalizing on his misfortunes, but evaluating and RFPing new equipment at Wooster was one of the most fun things I did there, so I'm really looking forward to the chance to do it again.

Mike from APT just called.

It's COOKIE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

This means he'll be bringing us a nice huge box of fresh Cheryl & Co. gourmet cookies for the office.

I can only describe it as awesome.

Key. Lime. Pie. Cookie.

OHhhhhhhhhhhgodsogood.

Past that, Mike and I sat down since the rest of the office is still @ lunch, and talked about what had been going on. He feels I handled myself completely professionally and well, and said he's very pleased with the job I've been doing.

More than that, he said that he had recently talked to my boss' boss, the director of IT support for the company, and she was very pleased with the performance I was putting in!

I didn't even know she really knew I existed, aside from a few occasions where she'd called the desk!

Wow.

...!!!!!!

On top of the cookies? One of the other guys in the office brought in Gevalia coffee and 4 boxes of Krispy Kremes.

Dude, I'm gonna be so wired by 5pm that my skin will start random arcs of caffinated electricity.

Hmm.

I know that spartanfan has me ginning a PC concept up for him. OTOH, if we wait for September, looks like we'd get a pretty damn good performance for about $200 less than a maxed out GeForce 5900 with 256MB of RAM.

I think it is a clear sign of my devotion to this job that despite being the only person in my office, having 2 boxes of sweet things to take home, and knowing that everyone else here has left for the day, I am sticking out until 5.
